Description

The foot massager is used by placing the foot on the footrest 1. The upper air cell 3 can be massaged by supplying air to the upper air cell 3 to inflate and deflate the upper air cell 3, and the lower part of the foot. supplying air to the air cells 5 and out more acupressure projection 6 to be expanded and contracted to lower air cells 5 can sole Shiatsu massage, also the foot by moving the lower massage unit 7 a reciprocating mechanism It is possible to do shiatsu massage of each part.

[Means for Solving the Problems]
A foot massager according to the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems comprises: a case having a footrest on an upper surface on which a foot can be placed; an upper massage portion comprising an upper air cell disposed on the footrest; A lower massaging portion comprising a lower air cell contained in the body and a pressure-sensitive projection projecting from the lower air cell, a reciprocating mechanism reciprocatingly driven in the longitudinal direction of the foot on which the lower massaging portion is placed on a footrest, each air cell A control unit for controlling the reciprocating motion mechanism is provided, and a variable reciprocating motion range means is provided so that the reciprocating motion range by the reciprocating motion mechanism of the lower massaging portion can be changed according to the size of the foot placed on the footrest. It features. The range in which the lower massage part reciprocates can be changed and set according to the foot size by the variable means of the reciprocation range. This makes it possible for the acupressure process to project beyond the foot size of the person who massages (beyond the heel) and avoid dangerous finger pressure such as rubbing the heel side of the foot. it can.

Inside the housing 2, a reciprocating motion mechanism for reciprocatingly driving the lower massage portion 7 back and forth is provided. This reciprocating motion mechanism is composed of a drive motor 10, a screw shaft 11 rotationally driven by the drive motor 10, and a movable plate 12 in which the screw shaft 11 is screwed. The screw shaft is driven by driving the drive motor 10. The movable plate 12 in which 11 is screwed can be reciprocally driven back and forth. The lower massaging portion 7 is mounted on the movable plate 12 which is driven to reciprocate back and forth, so that the lower massaging portion 7 is reciprocated by the reciprocation of the movable plate 12. The reciprocating drive mechanism and the air cells 3 and 5 are controlled by the control unit and driven.

Claims (8)

An upper massaging portion comprising a casing having a footrest on an upper surface on which the foot can be placed, an upper air cell disposed on the footrest, a lower air cell built in the casing, and a finger pressing projection projecting from the lower air cell And a control unit for controlling the air cells and the reciprocation mechanism, the lower massaging portion comprising: a lower massaging portion; a reciprocation mechanism for reciprocatingly driving the lower massaging portion on the footrest in the longitudinal direction of the foot; What is claimed is: 1. A foot massage machine, comprising means for changing a reciprocating movement range so as to change a reciprocating movement range by a reciprocating movement mechanism of a lower massaging portion according to a size of a foot placed on the foot massager. Control to hold the foot from both sides with air pressure while expanding the upper air cell, and expand the lower air cell to drive the lower massaging part to reciprocate in a state in which the acupressure projection protrudes upward The foot massager according to claim 1, characterized in that it has a part. The foot massager according to claim 1, wherein the lower massage portion is provided with a plurality of acupressure protrusions in the width direction of the foot on the footrest and the protrusion amount upward of the acupressure protrusion on the arch side is increased. The foot massager according to claim 1, wherein the tip of the acupressure process always protrudes above the footrest. The air cell for the tip of the foot on the footrest and the foot cover for holding the tip of the foot are provided, and the toe is massaged by the expansion and contraction of the air cell for the tip of the foot. Foot massage machine. 6. The foot massager according to claim 5, further comprising a positioning projection for setting the foot on the top of the foot tip air cell on the footrest. The foot massager according to claim 5, characterized in that the toe cover is detachably attached. 2. The foot massager according to claim 1, wherein the upper air cell is detachably attached to the upper air cell by a band having an acupressure projection different from the lower massage portion.
